Neymar's disastrous match

In the early hours of November 10th, Neymar caused controversy in Santos' 2-3 defeat to Flamengo in the 33rd round of the Brazilian National Championship (Brasileirão).

Neymar played poorly.

In the match against Flamengo, Neymar was given a starting place by the coach. This was his first start for Santos in two months since suffering a serious injury.

The 32-year-old's return is eagerly awaited by Santos and Brazilian football as a whole, marking a significant turning point in his recovery journey.

However, during his 85 minutes on the pitch, Neymar played poorly and made no impact. His Santos team was trailing Flamengo 3-0 despite a dominant performance.

In the 86th minute, Neymar was substituted. He openly expressed his dissatisfaction with coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, questioning why he was substituted. Neymar then went straight into the dressing room without greeting his teammates and coaching staff, causing a commotion within the team.

What's even more disheartening for Neymar is that after he left the field, Santos scored two goals in quick succession and nearly pulled off a late shock. Neymar's return doesn't seem to have helped Santos in their relegation battle this season.

Santos have failed to win in their last five matches. Their loss to Flamengo saw them drop to 17th out of 20 teams in the league table, a position that will see them relegated at the end of the season.

This season, due to limited playing time, Neymar has only scored 3 goals for Brasileirão – a modest number compared to expectations.

The match against Flamengo seemed like an opportunity for Neymar to regain his form, prove his worth, and contribute to Santos's title race. But it turned out to be a nightmare for Neymar.
